The Souls series is well known for its painfully difficult boss battles. You slog your way through an entire level, just be slapped straight back to the start by a giant tin man. It’s a daunting task for new players, and when they tackle it, they sometimes forget to take in the quality of the boss's design. Demon’s Souls has some fantastic bosses, bosses that are enhanced further by the recent remake on PlayStation 5. Rather than focus on their difficulty, let’s rank the bosses on their overall presence.
18: King Allant
What is this… thing? The final boss of Demon’s Souls, unlocked only after beating all the other bosses, hides in the depths of the Nexus. Despite an epic setup for the encounter, players are greeted with a grotesque hunk of flesh. It’s an ugly blob on the floor. Worst of all, it’s not even a challenge to fight King Allant; you actively have to try and die here. What an underwhelming end.
17: Adjudicator
This bumbling oaf is, seemingly, controlled by a bird. Inspired by a combination of Shrek and a Licker from the Resident Evil series, the only interesting quirks about Adjudicator is the bird on its head and the sword through its belly. Outside of that, it’s a plodding pile of a blubber.
16: Leechmonger
